Question

11. How much energy from the Sun would the Curiosity Rover collect at Mars' average distance from the Sun of 1.52 AU, compared to how much that solar panel would collect at Earth? (Ignore any losses in energy due to the atmospheres of either body.) (The /is the division symbol.) a. 1/1.52 = 0.66) as much as received at Earth b. 1/(1.52 x 2) as much (= 0.33) as received at Earth c. 1/1.52 times as much (= 0.43) as received at Earth d. 1.52 x 2 = 3.04) as much as received at Earth e. 1.52 times as much = 2.31) as received at Earth f. we would collect the same amount as received at Earth.

Answer 1

So my answer is option c and I have provided the solution above. If you like my solution and think that I could help you a bit please give me a thumb up. Thank you in advance.

Answer sun. According to the problem, Curiosity Raver at Mons ombits sur at a distante of 1.52 AU whereas when it is at earth it orbits sun at a distance of 1 AU. The Curiosity Rover collects the light intonsity Oso the flex emitted by sun energy Area = (distance? = (152) ² Au² at - IAU² (Earth) .. Fux collected by curiosity at Mars is (06032 in comparison to flux collected at Earth so flux ie, energy per unit area area 1982 AU (Mars) at I AU
